Robert Rodriguez to Helm Jonny Quest Live Action Film

The popular Hanna-Barbera character, Jonny Quest, is being brought to the big screen, and Robert Rodriguez has stepped in to direct the project.

Rodriguez, along with Terry Rossio, will be rewriting the script and Dan Lin and Prime Universe's Adrian Askarieh will be producing.

Jonny Quest traveled around the globe on adventures with his scientist father, their bodyguard Race Bannon and Jonny's pal Hadji. Jonny always found himself involved in some sort of trouble that he had to figure his way out of.

There have been many incarnations of the character over the years in comics and in animated series. Warner Bros. is, no doubt, hoping that Rodriguez is the man to finally bring back a popular medium for the franchise.
